MiguelCrates

Each crate is a separate JSON file in the config folder, and the file name sets the crate's unique ID, so a file called common.json defines the crate common. A crate file holds a rewards list, where each entry names the items or commands a player can win, along with how many are given and how rare each reward is. An obtain section sets how crates appear in the world, and a sources list sets which entities drop them and which vanilla loot tables and chests receive them. Crates can also be crafted at a crafting table.

Existing crates can be changed without touching the mod code. To make a new one, a copy of an existing file such as common.json can be renamed, for example to vip_crate.json, then edited in any plain text editor to change its display name, its texture color and its rewards. Rewards can be vanilla items such as minecraft:diamond, or commands that run on a custom icon, which makes it possible to hand out money or other server rewards. A server restart loads new crates, and server commands manage them.

MiguelCrates depends on MiguelEconomy, which must be installed alongside it. The mod is licensed under the MIT License and is not open source. It runs on Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it.
